I thought I would be nice. Since it took me SOOO long to put up the last chapter, here is the next one!
-oOo-
Two weeks from moving day seemed to fly by.
We had managed to settle in the house, which didn't take long. I went to visit Edward, Bella, and Nessie a couple times in their new cottage, which was very similar in looks and layout to their old cottage back in Forks.
Nessie's birthday was coming up on September 10th, and she looked just a little bit younger than me, maybe about eleven or twelve. It was amazing how quickly she aged from the time I first met her to now. It might be a little hard on her when Edward and Bella are going to be in school every weekday but we aren't too far for Jacob to run here in wolf form, so I'm sure he would be dropping in frequently.
Carlisle got a job at Columbia Memorial Hospital so he would be working there on weekdays from about eight in the morning to about five in the evening. However, he would he working on Wednesday, Thursday, and every other Friday night. He told us that if they were ever short staffed at the hospital he would go into work. I found out that vampires couldn't catch any illnesses.
So Esme would be home with Nessie on all the weekdays until we got home from school.
Well, Parker would be home too. At least for a little while...
He didn't have enough control to be around all of those humans everyday and his eyes were still red. It would be too difficult for him. He would be coming to school possibly sometime in October. I would miss him every day but at least I was going to school with my family. I wouldn't be completely alone.
Before I knew it, it was the night before the first day of school...
-oOo-
I set my backpack down on my bed. It was a Vera Bradley backpack in the Carnaby pattern. My duffel bag had the same pattern. I loved the shade of pink in the pattern and Alice said the backpack "had my name written all over it."
My outfit was laid out in the corner of the bed. It consisted of a grey Miu Miu Wool-blend frill sweater, navy Kex low-rise skinny jeans, grey Matt Bernson gladiator sandals, and a necklace with many black, silver, and pearl chains. It was a bit plain so I could blend in with the other kids, but it was an outfit with big name brands.
Alice insisted that I wear these big name brands. I would be fine with other products from cheaper stores like Aéropostale and Hollister but Alice refused to buy them for me. Ahh Alice...
I left everything on the bed and headed downstairs to join the rest of the family. It was about nine-thirty but nobody was going to go to sleep. Alice was approving Bella's outfit, to her much uncomfort. Renesmee was giggling at Alice. Rosalie and Emmett were sitting on the couch and I think Edward and Jasper were out finishing their hunting.
"Good night everyone," I said. "See you in the morning."
Esme walked over and gave me a quick hug.
"Rosalie and I are doing your hair and makeup in the morning!" Alice called out as I headed up the stairs. I made my way into Carlisle's study. He was sitting at his desk writing down something.
"Goodnight," I said to him quietly. He looked up at me and smiled. He walked over to me and kissed me on my forehead. I wrapped my arms around him for a hug.
"Are you nervous for tomorrow?" he asked me.
"Yes," I whispered. He moved a lock of my hair behind my ear.
"Don't be. Remember, your family will be there. If you stay with them, you will be fine." He chuckled. "I hear you have quite a few classes with Alice. Am I correct?"
I smiled. "Yep. We have all of our academics together."
"I wonder how that happened," he said with a wink. I giggled, knowing that it wasn't a pure coincidence that I had all of my academics with Alice.
"Goodnight Carlisle," I said.
"Goodnight Alex," he replied. "Sleep well."
I nodded and walked to my bedroom. Parker was sitting on the futon.
"Well hello," I said. "Fancy seeing you on my futon. It's not like you spend ALL of your time in here or anything."
He smiled. "Ha ha ha, very funny. I just wanted to give you a kiss goodnight."
I batted my eyelashes and gave him a flirty smile. "Aww, aren't you sweet?"
"I'm very sweet," he said, connecting our lips. I moved my arms and wrapped them around his neck. His hands moved to my lower back. A few seconds later, he broke the kiss. I gave him a pouty face.
"Don't worry, you'll have a good luck kiss tomorrow," he whispered in my ear. I giggled and gave him a quick kiss on
the cheek.
"Goodnight," I whispered in his ear.
"Sweet dreams, my angel," he replied.
He walked out of the room and I laid down in my bed.
I had trouble falling asleep because I was nervous for tomorrow. It was going to be hard being a new girl.
Well, at least my whole family was going to be a bunch of new kids, too.
-oOo-
I was woken up by the beeping of my alarm clock. It was only six a.m. Getting up this early was going to take a long time to get used to. That's another reason I envy my family. They. Don't. Sleep.
I groaned and slowly got out of bed. I trudged down to the kitchen where I found Esme making her amazing cinnamon rolls.
She turned to me and smiled. "Happy first day of school," she said. I groaned and sat down at the island. We had stools in this house so I could sit right where Esme was cooking.
She sat a plate of cinnamon rolls in front of me.
"Well, these will make the morning better," I said.
Esme chuckled. "Oh Alex, school won't be that bad," she said. She leaned in and whispered in my ear, "At least this isn't your one hundredth time going to school."
I gaped at her. "Everyone has been to high school over one hundred times?" I asked.
She laughed. "No, that was just an exaggeration. I honestly don't remember how many times everyone has gone to school..."
Alice skipped in the back door with Jasper in tow.
"Good morning! Are you ready for school?" she asked. I sighed and shook my head.
I then realized how grumpy I was being. Going to school wouldn't be all that bad. I would be out of the house every...
Wait a second.
I turned and glared at Jasper. "What did you do to me?" I asked. He chuckled and held up his hands in surrender. I knew he was messing with my mood...
"C'mon! Hustle up!" Alice shouted. I ate two cinnamon rolls and went upstairs to get ready. I was able to get dressed in my closet because it was so large. After I was done getting dressed, Alice and Rosalie walked in.
"Hair and makeup time!" Alice sang.
They pulled me into the bathroom and sat me down on a chair. When did that chair get in the bathroom?
It seemed like a long time, but Alice and Rosalie finally let me see my reflection.
I gasped.
My dirty blond hair was curled and cascaded down a bit lower then my shoulders. My skin looked flawless and it had a little glow to it. The makeup I was wearing was very natural-"barely there" as Alice said- but still looked amazing.
"Do you love it or do you love it?" Alice said with a giggle.
I blinked three times. "This isn't me," I whispered.
"But it is, darling," Rosalie said.
-oOo-
Alice, Rosalie, and I headed down the stairs. I had my backpack on my shoulders while Rosalie and Alice had adorable tote bags. Edward, Bella, Jasper, and Emmett were waiting in the living room.
I whipped out my camera and got a picture of everyone before they headed out the door.
"Ladies in my car, men in Emmett's Jeep," Rosalie said.
Parker came up behind and put his arms around my waist. I turned around and pressed my lips to his. Sadly, I had to break away when Alice called my name.
"I'm mourning the loss of summer," I said glumly. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you more," he replied.
I waved goodbye to Parker, Carlisle, and Esme as I headed out to Rosalie's convertible.
Hell, here I come.
-oOo-
Aww, school won't be THAT bad... Or will it?
It's all up to ME, the author. *laughs evilly*
